Scenes de Ballet, Op. 52; No. 5: Pas d’Action
Composers:- Glazunov, Alexander
Duration: 4
Description:
Russian composer Aleksandr Glazunov (1865-1936) had a particular love for ballet, and that love for the genre drove him to compose the eight-dance suite SC�NES DE BALLET, Op. 52 in 1894. The work was written without choreography or even a story, so it remained an imaginary ballet of sorts, with delightful melodies suggesting a story that we do not have. The complete suite was premiered in St. Petersburg by the Imperial Music Society in 1895, conducted by Glazunov. The fifth dance of the suite, PAS D’ACTION, suggests that a dramatic moment had just taken place in the imaginary plot. Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2.3.2: 4.3.3.1: Timp: Hp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
